What a great capture! I like the way the sun is just hitting the top of his head and his body is in the shade. He makes me feel full and sleepy just looking at him!

I like that you included the surrounding environment in this image. There is a definite blue hue in the shadow areas on my uncalibrated monitor. Nice capture and presentation. :wavey:

The big yawn is an attention getter and lends a calm mood to this capture. I like your composition, too. The shadow areas show a magenta color cast on my monitor, which can be easily tweaked with selective adjustment in post processing.
